This is what playing dirty looks like - welcome to the real Wall Street. They want to send a message to scare off enough people by mimicking a crash through intentional sales that trigger freezes.

Log out, get some fresh air, come back later. Lots of good DD on wsb and discord. HOLD is FUN!

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
